Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 188: The Pure Ancient Mana and the Guardian Part 1

Since the two of my companions are currently asleep due to the darts used on them, I have no choice but to camp in a nearby clearing in the forest. It was a troublesome thing as I have to pitch a tent for those two by myself.

Wait, this is the perfect opportunity. I summoned Yuri and Yuto out.

"Hey, Master! What can we do for you this time?" Yuto asked as he sat on the nearby rock while eating potato chips. Wait, how did he even have potato chips, did he also transform it into spirit form? 

"Master~ Give me some of that precious mana of yours~"

I am generous enough so I gave my familiars mana, even Inari-sama who was not summoned out is also able to get her share.

"Now then, I want the two of you to pitch a tent with me. Although I can pitch a tent all by myself, doing three tents all by myself is a lot of work."

"Just pitching the tent?" Yuto already understood why I summoned them.

"Guarding the perimeter for intruders will also be part of your work for now."

"Oki-doki!" Yuri said and went to the first tent bag of Ishana. Yuto nodded and fly towards Yami's tent bag and started pitching the tent. Since the two already have started working on the tents, I also went to work on my tent and finish it before the sun fully sets.

...

Night peacefully came. I yawned while watching in the bonfire. The two are still asleep from the sleep darts used on them so I can't blame them if they have very low resistance on sleep darts. I was lucky enough that I did not fell victim or else we would have been brought to the facility and we might have been in danger. Although it can also be said that it is a shortcut to reach the facility, I still prefer to do the safest way and that is to sneak in ourselves without having the risk of danger upon us.

"Master, I finished patrolling on my side and there are no dangerous elements present that we might need to be wary of," Yuto said.

"I also finished mine too~ Nothing strange is going on in my side."

"Thanks for the hard work guys. You can go back and rest or you can stay outside a little bit longer to accompany me. Your choice," I said.

"Ah~ I wanted to stay outside but I am too tired right now so I will rest for now, bye Master, goodnight," and with that, Yuri returned to my Familiar Space.

"I will not be staying out for long too Master. I have to rest too so I will be going back, good night Master," Yuto bowed before returning.

In the end, I am left alone once again but it's understandable.

"Oh man, this is so boring. The other world is not as fun as the novels depict them to be."

"Ha, that was the first time I heard you complain in your situation Kazuma!" Blue chuckled.

"Shut it. It might be the other world but it lacks the image of the other world that is usually depicted in the manga and novels. It lacks many parts that all I can do is just complain about the quality of this world. In short, things are not what it seems in reality and fiction. Reality is just disappointing as it is."

"It's not as bad as you think it might be. You just had been here for a few days so don't judge it too quickly. You guys have not even traveled that far so you shouldn't be too quick to judge on it."

"I guess you are right. However, will we be able to finish our task? Meeting one person seems impossible enough. I don't even know who are the missing people that we are looking for."

"Don't worry, I got the record. It's posted in the chat group by Zacharias. You can check it out if you wanted to who is missing. It's a complete list so you won't be missing anyone in any case."

Since Blue said that, I opened the chat group and looked at the list. It took me a bit of searching before I found the post of Zacharias to the group on the lost people. I am focused too much on the missing people's photos when Blue once again started speaking.

"Hey, Kazuma. I am detecting a faint trace of pure ancient mana not too far from our location. It seems to be moving straight to our location."

"How big is it?"

"It's not big. Rather, it is tiny. The one carrying such pure mana seems to be a tiny being that can only be found here in this world as I don't have records of the structure of this creature in our world."

"A local inhabitant on this world huh? Still, I can't get to lower my defenses this time. This world is dangerous if I lower my guard a little too much."

"That creature is coming in here fast. Prepare Kazuma!"

Focusing on the incoming entity, I saw a small being with wings fluttering aimlessly towards my direction. I squinted my eyes a little bit to see what is that. It fluttered past me and continues to fly however, it is now flying lower and lower than the previous height.

"Confirmed. One record of species appeared in my database. The entity is a pixie. Since it has the pure ancient mana on it, it seems to be carrying a relic containing one on its being. Go and fetch that pixie Kazuma."

"Huh? Why?"

"That pixie is injured. Based on the wounds, it is attacked by some sort of beast that is local to this world. We can't just let something like a pixie die as they are one of the creatures that bring balance to the world. If they disappear, the world's balance will be destroyed and everything this world has will no longer exist."

"On it."

I went to the location where it fluttered earlier and found the pixie on the ground, collapsed and currently bleeding badly. Little did I know that this little pixie and my intervention will set the gears of the fate of this world on the road of redemption and recreation or destruction.
